65: A soul beast over 100,000 years old?

Yu Tianxin let out a groan of pain as his body was sent flying by that violent force.

His head spun as he slammed into the ground, a wail of agony escaping his lips.

Tian Yue, on the other hand, was completely unharmed; she tilted her snowy-white neck slightly, her small Face filled with pride.

“You...”

Lei Miesheng looked at Tian Yue, his eyes filled with anger and shock.

He hadn't expected that the most formidable Genius of their Thunder Academy would be defeated in a single exchange.

One must know that Yu Tianxin had even challenged three-ring Spirit Elders at the academy.

Those battles had been back and forth, nothing like the current situation.

Lei Dong and the others were also somewhat dumbfounded, instinctively looking toward Tian Yue's second spirit ring.

Was it really a thousand-year spirit ring? It was so fast they couldn't even see it clearly.

“What 'number one Beast Spirit in the world'? It's just an empty title!”

Tian Yue stood with one hand on her hip, her delicate chin slightly raised as she mocked them without reservation.

“Hmph, I'll fight you!”

Lei Dong refused to accept this.

Just as he was about to rush forward, Lei Miesheng pressed down on his shoulder first.

If Yu Tianxin had lost, it was even more impossible for Lei Dong to win.

Furthermore, he knew that the girl's elders might be watching from the shadows.

Lei Miesheng could only swallow his anger.

He didn't dare to gamble; if they continued to linger and the person behind them showed up...

He could handle a Spirit Saint, but if it were a Spirit Douluo, this matter would be difficult to resolve.

“Her Soul Power was higher than yours to begin with, so it's normal that she beat Tianxin. If you go up now, even if you win through a battle of attrition, it wouldn't be honorable.”

Lei Miesheng spoke very tactfully, saving Face for his students.

“This fellow!”

Standing atop a large tree, Gold Crocodile Douluo let out a soft snort as he looked at Lei Miesheng.

A smile quickly returned to his Face; Tian Yue's words had truly resonated with him.

If it weren't for the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon clan spreading their seeds everywhere and relying on their numbers...

And his own Gold Crocodile Douluo Family's decline,

Then the title of the number one Beast Spirit in the world would never have fallen to a mixed-blood dragon.

“Hmm?”

Gold Crocodile Douluo's smile suddenly vanished, replaced by a look of solemnity.

Bibi Dong also looked toward the depths of the forest, where an extremely powerful Aura was approaching.

Ye Yuaner felt it too; the Aura was very strong, and it didn't even seem human.

“Second Consecrator, go take a look!”

Bibi Dong spoke.

Gold Crocodile Douluo was somewhat displeased; Bibi Dong was trying to order him around.

He frowned and hesitated for a moment, but considering his granddaughter's safety, he decided to go and check.

The women remained behind to continue guarding the youngsters.

Gold Crocodile Douluo was very fast, flying several hundred meters through the forest in just two breaths.

He didn't see a single Spirit Beast along the way; the entire forest was eerily quiet.

Following that dangerous Aura, Gold Crocodile Douluo saw a burly middle-aged man.

He was tall, over three meters, with dark-golden fur covering his entire body and eyes that were cold and cruel.

His two hands were like beast paws, tipped with extremely sharp claws.

Gold Crocodile Douluo felt an astonishing Aura emanating from him.

“A transformed Spirit Beast... no, if it were a transformed Spirit Beast, it shouldn't still have beastly features, let alone retain the power it had before transforming.”

While Gold Crocodile Douluo was wondering, Xiong Jun suddenly let out a roar.

The massive sound created waves of sonic energy, causing the surrounding trees to sway violently.

In the next moment, Xiong Jun charged forward like a wild beast unleashed.

He had slept for too long and needed a battle to stir his beastly nature.

“Martial Soul True Body!”

Gold Crocodile Douluo's expression changed; as his nine spirit rings rose, his seventh spirit ring immediately lit up.

He entered his Martial Soul True Body in an instant; Xiong Jun gave him a sense of danger.

Gold Crocodile Douluo knew the opponent was no ordinary Hundred Thousand Year Spirit Beast; it was definitely over two hundred thousand years old, perhaps even four hundred thousand.

A massive Golden Crocodile King appeared, and a powerful beastly pressure swept out along with it.

It opened its bloody maw and bit toward the charging Xiong Jun, whose claws struck back in kind.

The power of the two collided, instantly whipping up a storm in all directions... On the other side, just after Gold Crocodile Douluo had left, Ye Yuaner and Bibi Dong noticed many vines appearing around them; those vines seemed sentient, gradually sealing off the surrounding paths and shrinking the perimeter.

Several of the vines were hugging the ground, slowly creeping toward Su Wen and the others.

At that moment, Dugu Yan happened to finish absorbing her spirit ring, and the ensuing ripple of Soul Power immediately drew everyone's attention.

In the next instant, Lei Miesheng and the others from Thunder Academy widened their eyes.

The three spirit rings on Dugu Yan's body appeared simultaneously.

One yellow, two purple.

That conspicuous thousand year second ring made them gasp in shock.

“How is this possible?”

Yu Tianxin had just caught his breath when he saw Dugu Yan's situation.

He found it hard to accept in his heart.

Their Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Spirits granted such powerful physiques, yet they couldn't achieve a thousand year second ring, and yet these girls... Having one person with it might be an exception, but two was far too abnormal.

His uncle had once published a Spirit theory stating that the second spirit ring could be seven hundred years old at most.

Could his uncle have been lying?

“This...”

“What's going on?”

Dugu Yan was just about to share her joy with the others.

When she saw several strangers had suddenly appeared.

She frowned slightly.

“Hey, how much longer do you plan on watching?”

Tian Yue was very satisfied with their shocked expressions.

However, it was annoying that they were still hanging around.

“Hehe, we're leaving now. Farewell!”

Lei Miesheng knew he couldn't stay any longer; with more than one person having a thousand year second ring, he wouldn't believe it if the person behind them wasn't a Titled Douluo.

Just as he was about to step away, he suddenly noticed a vine groping through the grass toward that young boy.

Lei Miesheng was startled at first, then realized it was a bold Spirit Beast launching a sneak attack.

He watched silently, wanting to see if the person behind them would save him, thereby verifying his own theory.

“Hmm?”

Su Wen noticed the man's gaze was off; when he turned around, he saw a slender vine slowly sliding toward him.

It was very well-hidden, even blending in with the surrounding environment.

“What kind of Spirit Beast is this?”

Su Wen raised an eyebrow slightly; a Spirit Beast actually wanted to ambush them at a time like this.

“Teacher, save me!”

Just then, one also sprouted beneath Lei Tian's feet; by the time he reacted, it had already coiled around his leg and instantly dragged him away.

Lei Miesheng had originally wanted to watch the show, but seeing a Spirit Beast dare to attack his own student, he was instantly enraged.

Two yellow, two purple, and three black—the moment his seven spirit rings appeared, a Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon also emerged with a roar, surrounded by bolts of lightning power.

“Beast! How dare you!”

Lei Miesheng suddenly accelerated and arrived in front of Lei Tian.

A vine whipped toward him, and Lei Miesheng let out a cold snort.

He reached out his right hand, intending to use his powerful strength to grab the vine and pull out the Spirit Beast behind the scenes.

But at the moment of contact, an unmatched force slammed into his palm, and Lei Miesheng was sent flying like a cannonball; his body smashed through a large tree and slid dozens of meters away before stopping.

“Silence!”

The scene went silent for a moment; everyone was in disbelief.

To be able to knock a Spirit Saint flying with a single blow.

Although he hadn't activated a Spirit Ability and had been somewhat arrogant, he was still a Spirit Saint powerhouse.
